Abstract: Process kits for processing chambers and processing chambers having a lower shield and lower shield ring are described. The lower shield has a ring-shaped body with an inner wall and an outer wall, a top wall and a bottom wall with an outer ledge wall extends outwardly from a lower portion of the outer wall to an outer ledge outer wall. The lower shield ring has a ramped lower inner wall with a top face spaced a distance from the bottom face of the upper inner wall so that the distance decreases from the lower inner wall to an inside surface of the outer wall. At least one upper opening extends through the top portion of the lower shield ring and at least one opening extends through the lower portion of the lower shield ring. Upper shields configured to cooperatively interact with the lower shield and lower shield ring are also described.
